Assessing Readiness to Offer New Degree Programs Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering, 08-05-2013Assessing Readiness to Offer New Degree Programs is a supplemental campus-based document that will a)Inform the academic program development process and b)Illustrate the unit’s readiness to offer the proposed degree program.The proposing unit is expected to a)Submit the assessing readiness document with the proposed program’s planning document and b)Update the assessing readiness document as unit conditions change for submission with the proposed program’s request to establish.Part One: Assessing Need for the ProgramNeed for the ProgramAs the population ages, the need for advanced medical tools, devices and diagnostics increases along with a need to improve our understanding of disease states. Thus as this need increases so does the demand for biomedical engineers. Due to their unique background, biomedical engineers have one foot grounded in the medical field and one foot grounded in engineering principles. By straddling these fields, biomedical engineers form a bridge upon which medical need, clinical practice, creativity, collaboration and research can travel freely from one side to the other. Our students will have a direct impact on the lives and health of those living in eastern North Carolina.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the employment growth for biomedical engineering will increase by 62% over the next ten years illustrating an increasing demand for people educated in this field as shown in Table 1. In addition the Labor Market Information Division of the Employment Security Commission of North Carolina predicts a 77% increase in biomedical engineering jobs from 2008-2018. Taking a snapshot of the statewide labor market, in October 2012, 4% - 10% of the biomedical engineering jobs advertised on the website ENGINEERJOBS.com were located in North Carolina. In addition, North Carolina Biotechnology Center’s NCBiotech company directory l
